Book Review: Hidden By Marianne Curley

Name: Hidden By Marianne CurleyAuthor: Marianne CurleyUK release date: March 14th 2013Summary:Ebony has always known that she is different. Her violet eyes mark her out, and her protective parents have kept her in a gorgeous valley, home-schooled, safe from everything—almost as if she’s being hidden. But she’s changing: glowing, getting more and more beautiful, and stronger than anyone knows. Ebony can’t stay hidden for ever, and when she meets complicated, intense Jordan, something explodes inside her—something that can be seen from the heavens; something that changes everything. Ebony is a stolen angel, concealed on Earth. Now the heavens have found her, they want her back.Review: I heard about this book and alarm bells went off in my head. Why? The plot sounded amazing, the cover looked amazing and I love Angels.

I opened the book and I was in the book heavens literally. This books plot is SO original. Yes there are angels but what goes through this novel is something out of a teen classic. I can see this book flying off the shelves... Why? Because it has to! Here are the reasons;Once again I love when the girl is the hero, the person who has to save people and the person who everyone relies on and respects. This book screams it at you. Cool angels, bad ass cars, money, powers and good-looking angel princes.

The plot is spectacular, the whole concept of it. Being snatched away from your parents from a world you never thought existed to having two Angels of different worlds searching for you all your life to bring you home and be their wife because of what you have. This skilfully craft novel contains some mysticism, mystery, intrigue, humour and romance in a neat package that is not just entertaining but challenges your mind and imagination. I Also loved the fact that the book switched between two characters. Especially between a male and female character.

Thane the irresistible Angel Prince who you can't help swoon over, his charm, kindness, smartness and good looks make this book what it is! I love how Marianne keeps his character on your toes through out! You never no what he brings to the table. Jordan, The hilarious teenage boy who's been through it all in such a short space of time, but yet is still upbeat and such a reliable character. Then Ebony, Even her name is cool. I can safely say she is one of my favourite characters of 2012. She is amazing. I love her braveness and her stance. Even though she's in a crazy non existing world at the moment you can relate to her.

So as I sit here and write this I have the urge to go back and read it again and again. I don't think this story will ever get old. 325 pages of pure perfection.
